From March 1, 2022, Microsoft will be increasing prices globally for most of its commercial Office 365 and Microsoft 365 subscriptions by up to 25%.
Since its launch a decade ago, Office 365 has grown to over 300 million commercial paid seats. As leaders around the world look to empower their people for a more flexible, hybrid world of work, it’s clear that every organization will need a new operating model across people, places, and processes. We’re committed to building on the value we’ve delivered over the past decade to continuously provide innovation that helps our customers succeed and thrive today and well into the future.
Here is an estimate increase in prices of M365 and O365-
| MICROSOFT PLAN | PRICE INCREASE (PER USER) |
|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 Business Basic | $5 to $6 |
| Microsoft 365 Business Premium | $20 to $22 |
| Office 365 E1 | $8 to $10 |
| Office 365 E3 | $20 to $23 |
| Office 365 E5 | $35 to $38 |
| Microsoft 365 E3 | $32 to $36 |
*These increases will apply globally with local market adjustments for specific regions.
